A father of one of the 17 sailors killed in the 2000 USS Cole terrorism attack has been banned from visiting his son's grave at the Arlington National Cemetery. Jesse Nieto, a 25-year Marine veteran, has been banned because of displaying “offensive material" such as decals which say “Remember the Cole, 12 Oct 2000,” “Islam=Terrorism” and “We Died, They Rejoiced.”
“The banning of these decals is political correctness run amuck in the military,” Catholic News AgencyAnn Arbor, Nov 13, 2008 / 06:56 am (CNA).- A Marine veteran whose anti-terrorist and anti-Islam vehicle decals hindered him in visiting the grave of his fallen son at Arlington National Cemetery has filed a federal lawsuit challenging the military order which rebuked his display of the decals.
....
Jesse Nieto, a 25-year Marine veteran, served two combat tours in Vietnam. His youngest son, Marc, was one of the seventeen sailors killed in the terrorist bombing of the U.S.S. Cole in October of 2000.
Since 1994 Nieto has been a civilian employee at the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. In 2001 he began displaying various decals on his vehicle expressing sentiments such as “Remember the Cole, 12 Oct 2000,” “Islam=Terrorism” and “We Died, They Rejoiced.”
On July 31, 2008, two military police officers ticketed Nieto for displaying “offensive material.”After Nieto refused to remove all allegedly offending decals from his vehicle, the Base Magistrate issued a written order ordering Nieto to remove his vehicle from the base until all decals were removed. The order banned his vehicle from all other federal installations, and reportedly prevented him from driving onto the grounds of Arlington National Cemetery.[...]
“The banning of these decals is political correctness run amuck in the military,” charged Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center. “Our troops are being killed by Islamic terrorists, 9/11 was caused by Islamic terrorists, these terrorists want to destroy America, the Islamic countries persecute Christians, and now the military is victimizing a father whose son was killed by Islamic terrorists while serving our nation.”

Our leaders need to accept the fact that Islam itself is the problem.
9:5 Slay the unbeliever wherever you find him ...
As if anyone with a functioning cerebral cortex needs more than that single crystal clear verse to accurately take the the measure of this evil political ideology.
I'd really like to help our "leaders" out with understanding this VERY VERY COMPLICATED subject matter.
(Slay) That means Murder, Kill, Liquidate, Terminate, Exterminate, Set on fire, Shoot, Crush, Poison, etc.
(Wherever you find them)- Um, that would be in the USA, Europe, Australia, Canada, South America, Antarctica, Africa, China, Russia, India, etc.
(The Infidel) - Well, that would be the good people whose safety and security it is your primary function as a national leader to protect.
If any of you "national leaders" out there would like me to go over it again, I do have time. I'm sure you'll be able to grasp this VERY COMPLICATED SUBJECT MATTER on the second or for sure the third try.
Truly disgusting and disturbing, to treat a Veteran like this ,especially one who's son was killed in a terrorist Attack , I commend the man for standing his ground !!!

This is a great window sticker, I wonder where he got it. Every car should prominently display one.
It's much bigger than a bumper sticker but this is still pathetic. How far up does this go? To the Pentagon? Will Bush say anything? Don't bet on it. In this particular instance this Colonel in charge is a coward and a kiss-ass. I hope it bites him in the butt someday by him not making General.

absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
outlaw bumper stickers
condemning terrorists
and their philosophy

absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
be a traitor to your cause
of stopping terrorists
if their friends are insulted
